NSX-V 6.1 Configuration Maximums

It was not that easy to find this information on the official VMware website. However, during a current NSX-V integration project, we received the following Configuration Maximums table from VMware PSO, including the permission to share the content with the community. Credit goes to Aleksander Bukowinski.

As soon as the information will be publicly available, I will insert the link in this article.

Currently, an NSX-V domain has a 1-1 relationship with a vCenter. Therefore NSX-V depends on the vSphere / VC scale limits for many parameters – you can find those limits for vSphere 5.5 here:

L3-Distributed Logical Router (DLR)
Distributed Logical Routers: 1000 per Host as of 6.1.2, 100 for earlier releasesNote: 1,200 per NSX-Manager Note: HA doesn’t change the scale of DLR.The DLR has interfaces connected to Logical Switches. A LS is in a Transport Zone. A TZ contains Clusters. All those Clusters/ESXi will get that DLR installed in kernel. So to go over 1000 DLR in a NSX Domain, you must create multiple TZ with different Clusters in each TZ.
Interfaces per DLR: 999 with a max of 8 uplinks
Routes per DLR: 2,000 (including the connected)Note: 12,000 per NSX-Manager
OSPF adjacencies per DLR: 10
BGP neighbors per DLR: 10
